lapkritis - what i was agreeing with was 9ff's comments about the chassis.
as for brakes, if you drive faster because of more power, as EVERYONE does, you need more brakes. it is as much about speed as it is about weight. that's why 951s have bigger brakes than a regular 944, though they are nearly identical weights.
333 - thank you - that's exactly what i was getting at
re: weight difference, it's more like 100lbs when you are all said and done, using the all aluminum version. you have to take what is on the internet with a grain of salt. american engines are weighed without intake, or any accessories bolted on. german engines are weighed complete. also, the increased cooling capacity required, and added exhaust weight, and other such items, all factor in. in the end, you gain about 100lbs up front.
